To find the missing number, we can set up the equation based on the information given:
\[ 55 \times x = 5.5 \]
To solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 55:
\[ x = \frac{5.5}{55} \]
Now let's simplify that:
\[ x = \frac{5.5 \div 5.5}{55 \div 5.5} = \frac{1}{10} \]
Thus,
\[ x = 0.1 \]
The missing number is 0.1.
